Inactivity Policy & Removals (Read 758 times)

Sadly, sometimes those who join us unexpectedly go AWOL due to expired subscriptions, work or school related things, or unforseen ninja attacks. Sometimes they're kind enough to let us know when such things happen, but every now and again some of our members disappear off the face of Eorzea and as an incentive to accurately reflect our active member count and ensure we get prior notification of absences, we've decided to start removing them from the FC.

We've been relatively lax on removals, but have decided to toughen up on our stance regarding inactivity to create a better environment for the community - to promote a better sense of unification, we'd like to encourage all members to stay in touch with us via the forum or Whatsapp if they're unable to play for a prolonged period of time, or at the very least provide an explanation as to why they won't be around for a while.

The conditions for removal, effective as of 13/11/2015, are as follows:

Probationary - Inactive with no notice or alternate means of communication for more than 15 days.

Member - Inactive with no notice or alternate means of communication for more than 30 days.

Knight and above - Inactive with no notice or alternate means of communication for more than 60 days.

Avoiding removal is simple - join and participate on the forum, Facebook page, Whatsapp group, or even just drop a staff member a PM saying you'll be away for a while and intend on returning sometime in the future. Leaving with no notice whatsoever indicates a lack of empathy for friends that will miss you and that isn't the kind of direction we'd like to take.

List updated. I've added the names of those removed recently after becoming inactive with no explanation for an extended period of time - this should be the last mass removal we'll do for a while, as we don't want to get into the habit of seeing people park their characters for lengths of time that have days reach three figures and won't let it reach this point again.
